ART & COPY

Finally watchedÂ Art and Copy. Its a beautiful film. Really liked ‘meeting’ the minds of the advertisingÂ machine.

Director Doug Pray reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising minds of our time. From the “creative revolution” of the 1960s, artists and writers have brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in an industry known for pandering and manipulation. Featuring the brilliant campaigns behind everything from cars to presidents, Art & Copy takes us inside the powerful machine of advertising and brings to light the profound influence the industry enjoys by tapping into the zeitgeist of popular culture.

The making of The Good Times newspaper

This made my day.

Monday 16 January 2012 was supposed to be the most depressing day of the year, so we decided to do something about it.
Starting on Monday 9 January we gave ourselves one week to write, edit, design and print a newspaper full of reasons to be cheerful about the year ahead.
We put the call out online and received literally hundreds of suggestions for things to include, as well as loads of volunteers who wanted to help write, take pictures, even distribute the papers.
We sent the files to print on the Sunday evening, and next morning we received 10,000 copies of the The Good Times, which we sent out to brighten up the world.

Dieter Rams -Â 10 Principles of Good Design

Good design is innovative

The possibilities for innovation are not, by any means, exhausted. Technological development is always offering new opportunities for innovative design. But innovative design always develops in tandem with innovative technology, and can never be an end in itself.
